    The format is strange. I cannot say that I like it. May be we are going to get use to it.

    <p>If you going to use an ultra sonicator to agitate the developer in the processing tank most likely you are going to dislodge the film emulsion from the plastic surface. I would not do it. And you have to use hearing protection while processing film. Do not do it. </p>

    <p>Hasselblad seems only twice Alpa prices. Looks like a bargain. </p>

    <p>Looking on the growing section of the vinyl records in my local B&N I would not anticipate the rebirth of the wet process...But certainly I would stick to my cameras as long as I can. I am not sure about my scanner. It can kick the bucket sometime.</p>

    <p>Do not listen to SP. He is a highly skillful mechanical engineer with years of experience. What is easy for him is not easy for most of people around. If you have never repair Z-4 before and you do not want to sacrifice the camera just find someone who can. There are bunch of people who can fix Z-4 for reasonable price even in the USA. I think that Clarence Gass can. Just google him and ask. He claims that he can do any camera. Did Canon 7s for me. </p>

    <p>Rolleiflex 2.8 FX</p>
  11. User_4525289
    <p>I do not think that it should be recalibrated. It is better left alone.</p>

    <p>I love Canons LTMs. They are really nice. I am thinking of getting old one like II but they all gone now on KEH.</p>

    <p>Grip or no grip to handle RB67 takes muscles...</p>

    <p>My camera collection makes no sense. Especially for my wife and kids...</p>

    <p>Go buy a thermostatic waterbath somewhere. It is the only permanent solution.</p>
  16. User_4525289
    <p>Yes you can. My Canon-7s also takes J-11 to my great surprise.</p>

    Great restoration. I still think of poor photographer that perished during the War and left that camera in the Latvian attic.

    <p>This is "universal viewfinder" универсальный видоискатель it is really good stuff. Help to find views in all occasions. </p>

    <p>It is hard to tell but people would not hide an expensive camera unless they had reasons for that. Bloody or criminal history is one of the reason. And there was a value on Rolleiflex, everyone knew it. There were also people in the USSR who could fix them. If the camera came from Germans it would be a legit possession. But if it used to belong to a local Jew killed during the Holocaust the survival relatives could and would report the owner to KGB as a Nazi collaborator. And why a new owner did not throw it away...well because there was a known value on it. Just a guess.</p>

    <p>Why German soldier? It may belong to a a Jewish photographer and camera could be prayed out of his dead body by his Latvian neighbor. Then it was saved on the attic in fear of the KGB. </p>

    <p>Zorki-2c knob has a central stem and theoretically the shutter speed could be set before the cocking up the shutter. I would not recommend to do it though. You can find Zorki-4 with engraved speeds on the dial and put it on the 4K. </p>
  22. User_4525289
    <p>Zorki-2 is very rare collectable camera. Please specify if you meant Zorki-2C which is more common one.</p>
  23. User_4525289
    <p>Thank you Robert, I will try to get in touch with him.</p>
  24. User_4525289
    <p>Nope, no luck here. Youxin said that everything before model 7.</p>

    <p>Who can do it not? The curtain is slow sometime, otherwise everything is good.</p>
